Package::Locator attempts to answer the question: "Where a distribution that
will provide this package?" The answer is divined by searching the indexes
for one or more CPAN-like repositories. If you also provide a specific
version number, Package::Locator will attempt to find a distribution with
that version of the package, or higher. You can also ask to find the latest
version of a package across all the indexes.
.
Package::Locator only looks at the index files for each repository, and those
indexes only contain information about the latest versions of the packages
within that repository. So Package::Locator is not BackPAN magic -- you
cannot use it to find precisely which distribution a particular package (or
file) came from.
